One of the more recent indicators of external perceptions of the state of health of the Guyana economy was reflected in the pronouncement by British High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller, on Thursday July 2 that Guyana has now positioned itself as Britain’s top trade partner in the Caribbean. Additionally, pointing to the likelihood that the partnership could be further consolidated, going forward, the UK envoy alluded to the likelihood of a British Chamber of Commerce being launched here soon.
The disclosures by the UK diplomat come on the heels of two high-profile visits here by British functionaries, the first, back in November last year by Britain’s Deputy Trade Commissioner for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Spencer Mahoney, and the second in February this year by a group UK business officials exploring investment opportunities in a wide range of sectors.
